I knew many of you when I was the Media Coordinator at Mills Park Elementary School, but for those of you I haven't yet met - I am Mrs. Fiedler. I have been teaching in Wake County since 1998, but for the last two years I have lived in Bratislava, Slovakia! My family and I enjoyed our travels in Europe, but we are SO happy to be back home in Cary. Of all the things I missed while I was away, being with my students was #1 (English-language books was #2!). I am very excited to see my old students again and to meet some new friends. I can't wait to hear about all the new books you have been reading and to share some that I've picked up on my travels (here's a teaser - did you know there is a British version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid?!)See you soon in the Media Center! :-)Mrs. FiedlerP.S. If you want to get a glimpse of what Slovakia looks like, check out this video clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFFJ4Zil0Vc

Though your alarm clock probably rang awfully early this morning, the new school year has gotten off to a great start today! We've been working on an orientation presentation for 6th grade classes, as well as getting teachers set up with all their equipment. Orentation classes will start on Wednesday and continue for the next few weeks. Whew, there are a LOT of students to get through media center orientation, but each day another team will come to check out books. We'll see you all SOON.

7th and 8th grade students--we are open for business! Come on in and start checking out books.
